into a new Manhattan campus, away from its previous rented space in Manhattan on Canal Street. MCNY purchased three floors of the commercial condominium at 40 Rector Street in Manhattan, with 110,000 square feet of space and an entrance at 60 West Street. MCNY purchased part of the first and the sixth, seventh and eighth floors of the 19-story building with a $68 million loan. The college also moved to a new Bronx campus at 463 East 149th Street. The new Bronx campus is a 26,000 square foot, part of a building, and has the capacity to serve approximately 500 students. International field study The MBA programs at MCNY have an international field study experience in their curricula and the experience is an inherent part of these curricula. This action-oriented experience is tailored to ensure that students have the opportunity to work collaboratively in a pan-cultural environment in which they are exposed to new cultures and given the opportunity to explore them. Students enrolled in the MBA programs (Media Management, Financial Services, Health Services and Risk Management or General Management) will participate in the trip based on their credits completed and academic progress. The field study's goal is to immerse students in the global business environment and students participation are required as this is necessary to develop and apply the skills required to work effectively in the global economy. As part of the required international practicum course, students will be afforded the opportunity to work in a consultative capacity with an operating enterprise to address one or more existing business challenges. The intensive 10-day Study Abroad component is also a part of MCNY’s Emergency and Disaster Management MPA program. The action-oriented immersive experience—included with program tuition, is designed to ensure that students can work collaboratively in a pan-cultural environment and learn from their international peers. MCNY students have traveled to Turkey, Chile, Spain, and other countries during past study abroad trip. All scheduling depends on the agency or organization that the class is working with and what their class project entails. At the trip’s conclusion, students prepare a summary and a comprehensive written report. Work from the trip also is included in students final Constructive Action project.
